Mantram -1.
Discussion-3. 'All this should be covered ( clothed ) by the Lord ( Isa ) ..
It is well known to us that the body, mind and intellect envelopments cannot and will not function of their own, they being mere inert'matter' --- unless they are vitalised by the Life -
Force.
The Spirit is, therefore, called the 'Lord of Matter,' in whose presence the inert aspect in us gains, as it were, a semblance of life.
And yet, in our pre-occupation with the objects-of-experience, we are blind to the existence of and the perfections in the 'Subject', the " Great Lord".
"All this should be covered ( clothed) by the LORD (ISA )" --- The world-of-matter acts as the veil, covering from our vision the Divinity Presence Everywhere around us, within and out.
The Light of Consciousness illumines all our perceptions, feelings and thoughts.
It illumines our sense-organs, mind and intellect.
It pervades all and nothing pervades It.
And yet, the paradox is that the world-of-plurality covers so successfully the vision of TRUTH, in whose Light alone the plurality can be experienced.
